Hmm the skin itself wasn't cleaned, actually, through PS. It rather is a light effect... and my brother's skin is quite clean in fact.

Hmm... I like it, but I think it would look more angelic with a softer lighting source.

What kind of equipment are you using?

Very angelic looking, very lovely

for some reason the eyelids just catch my eye as being beautiful, great focus

Well... to be honest, I thought I could use a softer lightning... but I realized that... I wasn't wanting to take the picture of a perfect angel, I needed something to make it rougher. My brother and I had several, bloody fights... in the past, and most of his face's scars are due to me ( and vice-versa for me ), I emphasized them just a bit with a narrower lightning to give a tad more hardness to the face.

Then comes the not-so-angelic feeling.

Actually... as you may have heard it, I use a D70s + Nikkor AF 1.4D for the camera/lens system.
The lights used are desktop tweaked lights, actually. 60W + 40W, with handmade paper-cones to narrow or widen the spotlight. And then a bunch of luck.
